Good to see you all again, for another better-late-than-never edition of Homesteading Highlights! It has brought me great joy to get a glimpse into your lives each day as I read the incoming posts to the community. I hope you all have found as much inspiration and information here as I have!
That's enough lip service to the readers... let's see what happened over the last two weeks!
Building, maintenance, and repair
There weren't quite as many building projects posted over the last couple of weeks, but still enough to find a few that stood out. Here's a look at what I liked.

Livestock
The livestock section in this edition is all about poultry, but we still managed to find a bit of variety. These are the posts I thought looked the tastiest.

Planting and Growing
As winter comes to the northern hemisphere, many of us are taking final harvests, and some are planting winter crops. Here a few posts about growing that I thought you would enjoy.

I don't normally self promote, but I thought you might all enjoy this post about growing my best crop of corn ever, then losing it.

Harvest, Cooking, and Storage
There have been a lot of posts about the rice harvests lately, and the last two weeks were no exception. Here's a couple more rice harvest highlights, plus some others I thought you might like.

I hope everyone enjoyed the highlights in this edition! As a reward for reading this far, I'm pleased to let you know that the topic for the next Homesteading Community Contest is going to be... weeds! That's right, weeds, that chore that every gardener faces at some point, and also, that overlooked food that many foragers seek! In the next contest, I'll be asking you to show me your weeds, how you deal with them, and what you do with them. Look for that announcement by the end of the week.
I'm also pleased to announce that OCD is showing some interest in utilizing the 'tipping' feature of Hive. This is a very underutilized tool that Hive has, and is a great way to give rewards to high quality posts that didn't earn much, and have passed the 7 day payout period. I won't bore you with the details of how it all will work, but I hope to be using this in the near future to get rewards to some of you whose posts I just didn't get submitted in time for a big vote.
That's all for this edition, I'll remind you as always that if you have any questions, comments, or concerns, I'm happy to address them in the comments below. Thank you all for reading, posting, voting, and engaging in our Homesteading Community!
